Started a couple days ago, seed germinated fast, hopefully all goes well now.
1st of May "Start" since it reached around 10cm and second leaves started.
Still just water for this week, will more than likely give a feeding of some Biobizz Gro, so far looks good.
I also popped 2 random seeds in some little pots in the tent, I chose not to picture them but I might make a diary on them for fun.
Started small feedings of Biobizz grow at 0.2ml per litre.
2 pictures of the LED off at it's scheduled time, I will be sure to add another 2 pictures with the LED on tomorrow.
Just looking for some advice, I've been growing for a while but I'd like to make sure I LST at the right time and get the best out of this plant, so...
Is it time to LST or should I let her stretch a little more, or maybe I should of done it a little sooner
4/5 Nodes
Salut le jardinier ! On dit entre le 5 et le 7 pour commencer à palisser mais ta plante a de belles branches et a l'air de pousser correctement donc peut-être que le 4ème fera l'affaire en tout cas a ta place j'aurais essayer. Bonne chance bella ciao
Well done! LST only turns to HST, when you start to snap branches! You can continue to tie down the plant like this weekly.
You will find that selectively de-leafing leaves that cover nodes, becomes a very helpful strategy to maintain even light intensity.
Upped the feeding to 0.35ml/l till I got run off at 6.2ph, next watering will be straight water, I haven't had to water much since it's a 15l pot.
LST looks good, all growing just perfect.
Update on day 24 - Added some pictures of my upgraded LST as she's grown.
Day 26 - Small defoliation of bottom leaves and some covering bud sites.
Very light defoliation but mostly tucking leaves under other leaves and tightening LST.
Nice and even canopy so far and about to go into flower.
Day 34, Calcium deficiency seems to be starting, just gave it's second feeding of nutrients at current strength while waiting on Calmag just ordered.
I've noticed a few leaves look like they have a deficiency, these are lower leaves from the first nodes.
Have I got a deficiency to worry about or is it leaf damage?
It's the start of something, but depends on recent behaviour and things like pH.
if you can rule out ocd and other craziness and the pH is good... yeah, i'd feel safe at saying something is deficient. Can't believe i'm going to say it twice.. looks like a Ca deficiency -- they are rarely actually ca or mg def in most contexts.
If you are heavy feeder, think about easing back for a second or re-evaluating your concentrations and ratios of nutes. if it's pH issues, get that in check first and easy off on nutes.. since in flower maybe not water-only in this perticular context... a TDS meter can help, but it's fairly inaccurate... if it's crazy high, that's beyond the inaccuracy in some cases.
rule out hte easy stuff and increase Ca a bit if none of it tracks.
Ca deficiency actually start long before you see them. you can likely stop the spread, but it may not heal much between now and the end.
Also, as long as slow enough, it shouldn't cuase too much of a problem. If any concern about exactly what it is, be conservative and wait and see a bit, with a water-only irrigation or 3 for fun. change that up as you observe reaction.
Day 36, Day of week 6.
Still waiting on calmag, got some Biobizz topmax which I'll start adding with the feed but the next watering will be just water.
Day 42, Been growing a very noticeable 2-3cm every single day or 2, constantly raising the light to 45cm from top colas.
Also Top-max will now be added next watering tomorrow at light on time.
Still waiting on calmag.(hopefully arrives before the watering.)
Day 45, CalMag finally arrived.
Watered with just calmag 1ml/L.
Day 49. Since I only got my calmag last week I've only been able to give it a water with it once and the deficiency is getting worse.
Nutrient burn also from last feeding, first time using top max, will give it a half feeding tonight with still 1ml/l of CalMag.
I plan on giving a half feeding due to nutrient burn last feed, but with full strength calmag at 1ml/L,
I just want second opinions before it comes to it, Ph has been good the whole time before someone mentions Ph for the 15th time :D
Calcium deficiency or possibly more?
Hello
So you're plants don't look too bad yet, they won't ever heal fully but the unaffected leaves should stay green and look healthy. You're only a week into getting the cal-mag so you should see a slow down very soon. The only other cautions i associate with calcium is be wary of too much potassium, and be mindful of a phosphorus deficiency accompanying a calcium deficiency. If you can keep the spotty leaves at this stage where they still function and arent completely dying off, you're doing good and will reach the end no problem.
Day 57, Calcium deficiency is just coming to a stop the past day or 2.
I ended up giving a 2ml/l of CalMag to fix it with it being the only thing added to my water.
Feeding to continue normally.
Day 63, Coming closer to the end but with some problems that I've never had before, this is all because I ran out of CalMag and took most people's word that soil would be fine without it, not with biobizz all mix, which I will carry on using still but, it's quite rubbish soil to be honest.
So just before I water tonight I want to ask what some more experienced growers would do instead.
I'm getting near the finish and honestly just want to make it there without losing too much bud production.
I think my next water tonight will just be 1ml of bloom/l, inputs?
Ive come to agree lately that "less is more". So the 1 ml of bloom not a bad idea. If you have some molasses/ agave/ cane sugar laying around that can be used too safely.
I did look into various bud bulking/ bud sweeteners like bud candy, honey chrome, sweet bembe....and almost all of them consisted of some mixture of a sugar, kelp extract, magnesium, various amino acids/humic acids/ fulvic acids. So if you had any of that laying around in small doses could work, but definitely at least molasses.
Day 70, Watering only and just waiting, very excited to harvest in a few days.
This is suppose to be a 70-75 Day harvest from Germination and looks like it may be cut soon
Day 75, Bud pictures added, dense,frosty and some purple.
48 hours of darkness tonight, amber thricomes are showing and atleast 70% Amber pistils.
So the only problem I really had on this plant was a calcium deficiency because I ran out of CalMag and every single, and I mean every single person says that it's very hard and almost doesn't happen in soil, well it happened.
Smoke report/weight everything will be updated in due time
Chopped after 77 days.
I done a better trim on most of the larger buds and placed them on a drying net.
We are drying between 20-21c and 50% Humidity.
Came out with just over 60 Grams of nice buds and some more popcorn buds along with a bag of trim I didn't weigh.
